The Postal Windischeschenbach is a Outbound medieval lowland castle nestling in the lumber creek on the western edge of the Altortes. It was about 250 meters west-southwest of the Catholic parish church St. Emmeram von Windischeschenbach in the municipality of the same name in the Upper Palatinate district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab in Bavaria . No historical or archaeological information is known about this castle, it is roughly dated as medieval . Only a remnant of a rampart of the small castle has survived. The site is protected as a ground monument number D-3-6138-0040 "Medieval Castle Stables".
description
The castle site is around 440 m above sea level. NHN Höhe immediately south of the house on Dammstrasse 11 in the valley of the Rumpelbach, which today is a garden area with ponds. It is therefore only a few meters north-north-west of the Windischeschenbach Castle, which has also been abandoned today .
The complex, presumably built as a hilltop castle in the shallow valley basin, had a total diameter of 75 meters according to the Bavarian premiere and consisted of a 30 meter diameter hill surrounded by a moat . An outer wall was placed in front of this trench as a further obstacle to the approach. Today only a 20 meter long, strongly flattened wall arch of this outer wall has been preserved. After the first photograph, there was possibly another ditch around the outer wall, filled with water.
